- Jeanne K. Baeten (Kolb) died peacefully on Thursday, Dec. 23, 2010, at a local hospital. She was born Sept. 25, 1930, to the late Ted and Dorothy (Pies) Baeten at St. Vincent Hospital. She attended St. Mary's Grade School and graduated from De Pere High School in 1948. From 1948 to 1950 Jeanne was employed at Wadhams Oil Company as a stenographer, and was then a stay-at-home mom from 1950 to 1968. From 1970 to 1978 she worked at the Wisconsin State Reformatory in the stenographic pool. Following two riots at the reformatory, she decided it was too dangerous, and began a career with Brown County.
